Wilmington 50

Dracut 30

An injury-plagued Lady Middies squad lost a tough 50-30 contest to Wilmington and their triple towers front court. Dracut managed to keep the game close in the first half and trailed by only 1 point as the Wildcats went into the break up 16-15. Three quick 3-pointers put Wilmington up by double digits as the short-handed Dracut Girls 7th Grade Travel Basketball Team grew fatigued and struggled at the free throw line. Melissa Iannuzzo (10), Lilly King (4), Emily Cloutier (4), Julianna Fagan (2), Julia Otoski (2), Erin McMeniman (1) and Lindsey Emond (1) scored for Dracut. Meghan Carney (6 points and 7 blocked shots) competed hard for the 8-4 Lady Middies.
